Dont Tell Me

Buddy Miller vocals/electric guitar Emmylou Harris acoustic guitar/harmony Steve Fishell steel guitar Brady Blade drums Darul Johnson bass Phil Madeira organ John Schreiner piano Tell my heart to stop beating Tell my mind not to think Throw a stone in the ocean Tell that stone not to sink Tell the world to stop turning round Tell the sky not to be so blue Tell the rain to start falling down like tears But don't tell me to stop loving you Don't tell me to stop loving you Tell the past to be forgotten Tell my life not to exist Tell a promise made to be unspoken And my lips not to have been kissed Tell the world to stop turning round Tell the sky not to be so blue Tell the rain to start falling down like tears But don't tell me to stop loving you Don't tell me to stop loving you I can't do it I can't stop it's something that love has sealed Only the broken hearted know the way I feel SOLO Tell the world to stop turning round Tell the sky not to be so blue Tell the rain to start falling down like tears But don't tell me to stop loving you Don't tell me to stop loving you From Buddy Miller "Poison Love" CD Hightone Records 1997 Tinker Tunes/Martha Road Music http://www.nashville.net/~kate/buddym.html
